Zhao Xuan leaned against the wall and said casually: "This case is very interesting. I will find a way to dedicate manpower to investigate, but you'd better not expect us to find anything."
Zhou Shi nodded and said: "I haven't found any clues about the corpse fraud case in Yichunyuan."
"We don't have any, it's really tricky." Zhao Xuan sighed and said, "Even if it's not a clue, it would be good to give us some ideas..."
Mr. Mo said that driving corpses does not belong to the Yin sect, but to the Gu sect, but Zhou Shi does not intend to tell Zhao Xuan about this yet.
If she were to know that the corpse fraud case was not the work of someone from the underworld, the importance of Zhou Shi as an informant would be greatly reduced.
Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Zhao Xuan asked, "How is your relationship with Yichunyuan?"
"Uh..."
What a sharp question...
"I know the owner of Yichunyuan, but we don't have any relationship. What's wrong?"
"Nothing. Although those two foxes have no intention of doing evil, they are monsters after all. I want to arrange more people to guard against them."
Zhou Shi understood the idea and said: "But try your best."
But what he was thinking was: "It seems that Zhao Xuan has guessed that Mrs. Hu will ask me to help find out what's happening in the government..."
"Well. Then there's nothing else." Zhao Xuan stood up and put one hand on the door curtain, "If you have any clues, you'd better contact us using this code. He Shouxin will contact you."
Zhou Shi sent the two people out and watched them go away.
"Shopkeeper, who are these two?"
"Oh, acquaintance... Xiaosi? Are you back?"
Liu Xiaosi's face, which was red from the sun, was filled with a smile. He said: "I'm back! Shopkeeper, today's business is better than yesterday. As soon as we arrived at the pier, hundreds of people gathered around us, and two loads of food were immediately
It was all robbed!"
"...They paid, right?"
"Of course!"
Agui, who was standing behind the counter, also smiled and said: "Let's make more tomorrow, and we will be able to pay back the money we owe soon."
Zhou Shi was naturally happy, but he forced himself to stay awake.
"This is just the beginning, come on, show me the account..."
He opened the account book, carefully calculated the money collected by Agui, then calculated it against the amount owed by Fengde Building, and said:
"Twenty days. According to today's business volume, we can pay off last month's debt in twenty days, as well as your wages. Shopkeeper Qian is gone?"
"Oh, when we came back, we happened to see shopkeeper Qian leaving... It seems that he beat the second boss really badly." Agui replied.
"Where is Erdong's family?"
"We helped him back to the backyard, and he is lying down in his employer's room."
Zhou Shi sneered, walked into the backyard with the account book, knocked on the main room twice, and then pushed the door open.
Zhu Benshan was lying on the bed, staring straight at the ceiling, humming, and it seemed like it would hurt if he moved.
Zhou Shi sat down by the bed and asked "Considerately": "Second Boss, how are you injured? Does it hurt?"
"That man surnamed Qian dared to beat me like a living pig! See if I turn around and demolish his Huaiyue Building without anyone else - oops -"
It is said that although Qian De'an is old, he is surprisingly strong. Even with a feather duster, he can beat Zhu Benshan to death. But he did not know what skills he used to beat Zhu Benshan to the point where one Buddha was born and two Buddhas reached Nirvana, but none of them were fatal.
Injury.
"Second boss, second boss, please calm down first. The Huaiyuelou family has a great business and a prosperous population, how can we afford to offend them!"
"Nonsense! Our Fengde Building is also one of the four famous buildings in Jiangdu, why should I be afraid of him!"
Zhou Shi put on a grimace, handed him the account book, and said, "Master, take a look at this, our Fengde Building will be gone soon!"
Zhu Benshan brought the account book, flipped through two pages, looked at the account book and then at Zhou Shi, his eyes were as big as glutinous rice balls.
"Why...why do I owe so much?"
"Hey, do you know why Shopkeeper Qian came to find you?"
Zhu Benshan frowned, yes, why did he spend so much time and alcohol without doing his job, this godfather didn't react so much.
"He wanted to take over our Fengde Building and came to me to negotiate the price. You said that I am the shopkeeper, how can I be the boss? Shopkeeper Qian had no choice but to cast a net to find you. I don't know how much effort and time it took to find you.
How much money has been paid, how can he not get angry!"
"Hiss - he wants to take over Fengde Building? How much is the price?"
Zhu Benshan's tone softened a bit. Anyway, he and his eldest brother originally wanted to sell Fengde Building and go their separate ways, completely ignoring that this was the ancestral property that two generations of their family had worked hard for.
As long as the price is right, he doesn't mind selling the Fengde Building, which embodies the life-long efforts of his father and grandfather!
Zhou Shi knew that this prodigal had no idea about money and would dare to sell it for any amount of money, so he said with a grimace:
"You still have to pay? Not a penny! It would be nice if we don't have to pay compensation!"
"Ah?"
"Look at how much money we owe, and the shopkeeper must be willing to take over the money. Otherwise, the creditor would have sued! Second owner, even if we are reluctant to part with Fengde Building, we can't let you and the first owner be in litigation!" p>
Zhu Benshan was an embroidered pillow. He lived in vain for twenty years and only knew how to eat, drink, whore and gamble. Now when he heard that he was going to be sued, he was like a deflated rubber ball and completely panicked.
"What, what should I do?"
"Second boss, don't worry, I guess I won't get hit with this small amount of money..." Zhou Shi continued to scare him, scaring Zhu Benshan into confusion.
Is Fengde Building really going to be sold to pay off the debt? Of course not, those were all Zhou Shi’s excuses to scare him.
In fact, the account book Zhou Shi gave to Zhu Benshan only contained the accounts before he came back to put out the fire. Since he remembered that the accounts were too messy in the days after he was kicked out, he ordered Zhao Qinfeng to change the account book and reorganize the accounts. The account book was half full.
Just use it to scare Zhu Benshan.
The story that Qian De'an wants to take over Fengde Building is of course false, and he may not be willing to deal with this mess.
Zhou Shi saw that Zhu Benshan was anxious, so he stopped as soon as he could, and said in a lighter tone:
"Second owner, don't worry. The guys at Fengde Building are all good and they will definitely find a way. Don't worry, I've already persuaded the creditor to go back. They won't come to move things until the end of the month."
"Move, move things?"
"I have calculated that if we move all the tables and chairs in Fengde Building, we can almost pay back the bill."
"Ah..."
"Oh, please don't blame me. I know that I am an outsider now, and I should not interfere with Fengde Tower's affairs. But you and your father-in-law take good care of me, and those creditors only give me face, so I came back.
Look. Sorry, I have to go back to the countryside..."
After that, Zhou Shi stood up and left. As soon as his hand touched the door curtain, Zhu Benshan said:
"Wait a minute..."
Done! Zhou Shi turned around and looked embarrassed.
"Second boss, no, Mr. Zhu, I am too much of an eyesore here. I'm afraid others will gossip about me, so I really don't dare to stay long."
"No, no, no - ouch - Zhou Shi, no, shopkeeper Zhou, please don't say that. It was me who was ignorant last time, so I will apologize to you, apologize..."
Zhu Benshan was lying on the bed, waving his right hand comically, and saying good things again and again.
What a idiot... Zhou Shi shook his head inwardly and said:
"Mr. Zhu, you intend to keep me here, but everyone in Fengde Building may not be as generous as you. If someone doesn't like to see me..."
"Don't worry, from now on, you have the final say in Fengde Building's business! If anyone complains, I will immediately expel them - oh, it hurts..."
Zhou Shi smiled, comforted Zhu Benshan a few more words, and then left his room.
"Huh - get one, and there's another one..."
……
Coming out of Fengde Building, He Shouxin followed Zhao Xuan and whispered:
"Master Zhao, I see that Zhou Shi's mouth is too wet..."
"Hey, everyone has their own secrets." Zhao Xuan didn't take it seriously, "This time it's just a small slap to keep him from getting too close to the old fox in Yichunyuan."
"And about that scholar...you didn't tell everything at the time, did you?"
Zhao Xuan sighed and said: "Indeed. Do you remember the Lingnan ghost case seven years ago? It was a demon who practiced evil arts and turned himself into a ghost...
"So there is another possibility - the scholar himself is the murderer. The whole case was directed and acted by the scholar at the cost of his life, and was a trap for Zhou Shi!"
